Voice Lines
Antlantis
Ah... do you smell it? It's...
inescapable... Like a plate of salmon, left out in the sun |
The cradle of life itself, all dried-up
Leaving the children to play in its withering remains |
Possessed by possessing gold
The same worth as everything Make-believe is enough for the self-proclaimed sentient |
This home died slowly enough for its inhabitants to adapt
A massive loss... a passive loss Dry... no tears |
An ocean evaporating is a death slow enough for no one to mourn
and here we are in the dried-up carcass |
The Imperiant musicians have a short lifespan
often only getting to do one first and final fanfare |
The Shramplings worship muscular warriors from the past
Statues depict a bodymass impossible to obtain now that their ocean is gone |
The Formless cling to gold to stay intact
much like other lifeforms cling to water |
Some look all their lives for a gold nugget
Here they are thrown at you and it's certainly not a dream come true |
The Beach Stray. Clam-like creatures. Simple lives
blowing bubbles, licking the ground. Peaceful. Better than most of us |
The bubble grows, the bubble pops
The Beach Stray is happy with that accomplishment |
A very capable queen. Under your feet
she's not buried Her kingdom is |
Shramplings and Imperiants constantly at war
until the Puppeteer took over She made you their common enemy |
Porko Land
A barren wasteland full of bleached hogs scorching in the sun
yet somehow... the flowers bloom |
One of the few places where the blossoms are busier than the bees |
This place fills you with an acquainted feeling. An urge to look into the sun for too long
You should not, you will hurt yourself But yet you venture on... into the unknown |
Blissful bugs thrive here. Everyone looks down on them
squashes them. They will never be as satisfied as a beetle rolling a ball of dirt |
A kingdom once ruled this land
They harvested Emeraldons for their mighty magic The power... went to their heads |
Porkos. Vile creatures, scavengers. No respect for life
no respect for themselves All that matters is their precious mud baths |
The Sporeborn lie in wait
They only emerge if you are the perfect vessel for their next generation of fungi |
Small sheds built by the Porkos can be found scattered throughout this region
'Thinking Sheds' they call them. If a Porko stray from the horde they are locked in... until they shed their thinking |
Echinos are the apex predators in this domain
indomitable Until you arrived that is |
Maggot blubber vibrating. Building up
static electricity. You will be shocked and disgusted |
Aggressive herbs
destructive herds protective birds |
Ahh... the kingdom of the blue birds |
The burrowing beetles often find obnoxious
treasures tainting their dearest dirt |
Eggs will be stepped on
Birds will be angry The two absolutes in Porko Land |
The land where the maggots are the final form of the metamorphosis |
Pop off an emerald from its pile of bones
and it will surely find a new home Or shatter trying |
Here, skeletal remains are considered free real-estate |
The North
The Tomtos grow up with their Pinecrow mounts
a mutual trust is gained through familiarity |
Knock down a Nordunn
and expect icy axes hurling at your face |
A farming vehicle's final croak is a deafening blast
at least the wheels are structurally sound |
Their Prophecy has consumed the Ugglurs very essence
Once hatched what is left of them will become a small birthday treat |
A sad and lonely pony
Do not be fooled by those big friendly eyes they hide issues beyond our imagination |
The Nordunn Elder
Sufficiently experienced to control the runes but not wise enough to realize their unpredictability |
Oh Pony... my old friend
you need to move on |
A wise old face
A warm smile draws you closer in such a grim cold And so... it all turns upside down |
The Pinecrows beak will penetrate the frozen tundra
A painful task for a lousy snack |
The bitter cold is what makes a warm cup of coco so much sweeter
This place is all out of coco |
Songs and stories around cozy campfires
slowly transitioned into chants and rituals around the idea of a prophecy |
The Ugglur owls came here to peacefully experience the wild
Oh but they found something far wilder |
The midsummer solstice will last forever
Once the Ugglur prophecy is fulfilled |
The Nordunn magic requires three key elements
Fallen warriors runes of worship and... the insufferable stark cold |
The Nordunn live here
Ruthless raiders with a knack for stonework |
Wolves howling
strange birds hovering and the sound of hooves clacking Oh how the north hums |
A large twisted creature resides here
Prepare yourself You might have to... face it |
The runes tell tales of great bravery. And cooking recipes
Roasted Tomtos? mhmm Sounds magically delicious |
Distant hoots of terror
The Nordunn rarely venture into the forest anymore |
The Void
Ah the calm before the
No The eye of the storm |
Defeat
has avoided you so far |
The ground acts as a membrane in keeping you out and her in
keeping you in... And her out |
You feel repelled and attracted to this place
Everything... Nothing neutral |
Opposite forces attract. Squeezing everything between them until
mhm... The breaking point |
The smell is disgustingly familiar
Amazingly safe and equally horrifying |
She welcomes you
Being here would be impossible if she did not |
The end again
Dissolving itself The ??? again |
You are the only one
she does not want to control You... surprise her |
It is all out of balance. The Puppeteer is
trying to control it all You are not fond of her approach |
Here to dance again
You two are having too much fun This will never end |
The ground seperates you and the Puppeteer
A thin film, impenetrable Some rules can't be broken... |
Hmmm. The other side of it all
Still the very same thing just, flipped Seemingly alien to those unflipped |
The void is an impossible concept made possible
by the impossibility of everything forced to contain it all. Including the lack of everything |
We are all echoes of your complicated relationship
The nervous system of it all... |
You equally repel and attract each other and so we spin
Vibrate. Intertwine and exist |
If the void was truly nothing then nothing would be everything that exists
Everything and nothing would be the same yet. Opposites And so it is. And so it spins And so it vibrates all in a beautiful manner... |
Ahhh. The void. Trying to be nothing
becoming a concept. And so it exists you validate each other |
Start of Run
It begins. Again, and again
This time maybe? Hope motivates those stuck in the loop |
It is reset, yet somehow different
you escaped the loop only to pop back in |
The Puppeteer cannot access your strings
you are the impossible you are free |
This time. It is always this time
this time will always be, however this time might really be the time |
Ahhh...
time to meet up with everyone that wants you dead |
Maybe this time |
Monsters...
fifty times your weight are eager to crush you today |
She is watching you
amazed that you're not her puppet |
She knows you're here... |
Something happened when you came along
everything is under her control it all wants you gone |
You move in patterns she cannot predict
your defiance spark her curiosity your contagious freedom ignites her rage |
